We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"As we are a software company, we find that accessing resources using this technology is easier compared to the others."
"The .NET framework is a mature platform that is very helpful and saves time during the software development process."
"The product has a good interface and easy-to-use programming language."
"It's easy to create and integrate things."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"-"
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions."
"The runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal."
"The solution has difficulty integrating with other products. There are no such difficulties if you have the same platform, hardware, and operating system."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"Microsoft has its own product called Blazor, but I don't think it's quite as powerful yet as React or Angular. That's an area for improvement."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
